The proposed bill amends section 15-2402 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, concerning Arizona empowerment scholarship accounts. The bill makes changes to the requirements for qualified students regarding their withdrawal from school districts or charter schools before enrolling for an Arizona empowerment scholarship account. It removes the specificity of "a" school district or charter school, replacing it with "the" to presumably clarify the language.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the Department of Education list the monies transferred for a qualified student's Arizona empowerment scholarship account as a separate line item in its budget estimate. Furthermore, the general appropriations act must also list these monies as a separate line item in the Department's budget. This change aims to increase transparency and accountability in the tracking of funds allocated to these scholarship accounts.
